An initiation is a threshold moment.
A crossing from one state of being to another. It is not something that can be forced or manufactured; it is a process of surrender, of being met by something greater than yourself.
Across cultures and time, initiation has marked the turning points of human life; birth, coming of age, loss, transformation, death, and rebirth.
Through the lens of nature, initiation becomes a living experience.
The river teaches us about letting go. The fire teaches us about transformation. The mountain calls us to rise into clarity. The silence of the wilderness strips away illusion and brings us face to face with truth.
When we step onto the land with intention, nature responds. She becomes both mirror and mentor, constellating around us to show us exactly what we need to see for our path ahead.
On these trails, initiation is not symbolic alone. It is lived, felt, embodied.
Each threshold a person faces is held in ceremony, ritual, and in direct communion with the living world.
It is an honour and a privilege to walk beside you. We look forward to meeting you in the wild places!

Marinda assisted me on this immersion, and our collaboration unfolded with effortless harmony. Her depth and intuitive softness brought a beautiful balance, creating a powerful container for the group, especially for the women. Her connection to source and spirit is remarkable, and she added immense value in holding space with gentleness and insight. This experience confirmed the strength of our partnership, and we look forward to deepening this work together.
My experience with Steve & Marinda as guides on the walking trail was something I couldn’t expect. The safety, attunement, presence, and reverence for nature and for women I experienced from Steve was incredibly healing for me. It allowed me to deepen into myself and the experience fully without any worry. It’s a rare experience to have facilitation so clean and so good that there’s no need to hold anything back, and that’s how it felt for me. Having Marinda there gave me tremendous permission to stay in my feminine heart and connect with the land in my own unique way, never feeling judged, but feeling deeply seen. The combination of their leadership made me feel celebrated as a woman, and cared for as a human being. I have done safari before but after this, I will NEVER do another one that isn’t led by Steve. It was clear to me how aligned and in his purpose he is, how much joy he feels to share the land in his special, spiritual way, and I am forever grateful for his perspectives and the container he held for me & the group.
